All-in-one Diesel Heater Install | SO MUCH EASIER

On this box truck build, I decided to purchase an all-in-one Chinese diesel heater. They have gotten really compact and I have the space where I don't need to locate the fuel pump and tank separately.
I was very impressed with the time savings over having to install each component separately. I definitely recommend this path if you have the space.

I would recommend having the exhaust extended to run somewhere outside of the camper walls. Carbon dioxide and monoxide are both colorless and odorless, not worth risking yours, your friends or your families life

I'd go one step more and have the whole heater outside in a waterproof housing and just run warm air duct into the space you want to heat. Gaskets inside the heater can fail and leak co inside...very dangerous in small spaces.

Agree with the carbon monoxide issue, also, make sure the exhaust hole is sealed with a flame proof foam

Definitely need about three more foot of exhaust pipe .,. The way you have it mounted a light breeze will trap the exhaust right in that steel box you have.... If it's just you all right but if you have kids yeah that's not going to fly ;!!!!!

I think I'd be a little concerned about the air intake. Traveling in the rain and snow you may have a little trouble with that. Without really looking at what you have, I don't know how I would change it.

Great vid ,,Ive installed many diesel heaters in semi trucks over the years,the easiest way to know where the pipes go,,the fuel inlet always runs beside the cold inlet,keep your inlet and exhaust pipes run on a downward angle,in case of any water intrusion,,great install brad.

You don't want your exhaust anywhere near your air intake hose. You'll just be sucking exhaust back into your heater and it won't have enough oxygen to burn properly. Looking at your wooden floor cutout, it looks like you will be a little close to that wood and could cause a fire so I'd keep an eye on that!

Step one: Throw the instructions in the trash. Step two: Refer to YT😂 Idea for the exhaust. Get rid of the worthless muffler and drill a hole in the side skirt just big enough for the exhaust pipe to go through. Then it goes to the open air. Great video homie. Thanks.

Instead of attaching the fuel line to the tank inside that box, could you simply plug the fuel line into the nipple on a promasters main tank connector between the two seats? Android diesel directly from the promasters main tank. Any thoughts. Between the driver seat and the passenger seat on a promaster there is a box in the floor and inside that box there is an auxiliary nipple that you can connect a bundy tap. Its how you install a webasto directly to the main diesel tank.
@lazarus8447

Simple. Intake air is right beside the fuel line, and exhaust is furthest away.

Why not put intake from inside the vehicle to make sure it doesn't intake from the exhaust? They just look very close. Also, my floor is wood. How hot does the exhaust get and should I drill larger and pack with a non combustable?
@m4ttj00
@m4ttj00 8 дней назад
The exhaust temps get very hot. If you’re going through wood, you’ll want a large air gap. The correct and safe way to install these in a car is with a turret style mounting plate.

Thanks for the video. You have a great voice for doing videos and the content is very helpful for me. I will be installing my first Diesel Heater in my motorhome as backup heating. There are very few videos explaining how they are installed. A suggestion if you will allow me is to become more conscious of what the camera is actually seeing, how the area is lit and how to be less jarring when you move the camera. I know that's annoying stuff to learn and keep track of at first but it will help with your viewers. I suspect you are going to be popular. Good luck.

I installed mine with the exhaust like an exhaust pipe on your car . The end must be past the body so exhaust fumes don’t accumulate under the vehicle and seep inside your rig . I also ran the exhaust pipe thru a six inch piece of water pipe with a flange on the end where in ran thru the floor of my rig. You can screw the flange Down on the floor . It really worked out well .

Brad, What if you didn't run the pipe that brings in the (to be heated) air through the floor, let it open to the room instead. That way, the air being pulled in would already be warmed. Wouldn't that work?
@nomadbrad503
@nomadbrad503 10 месяцев назад
That’s not how it works. That pipe you speak of is not “air to be heated” it is only for the combustion process. The fresh air intake must come from outside the vehicle. If you take air from your living space and exhaust it outside the vehicle you are creating a vacuum which is not good.

Hi Brad, I agreed with you and bought and received a HCalory one, the latest design in grey. I wanted to add a fuel filter, so opened it up to see that it already had one. However, a fuel filter is meant to protect the pump, but they installed it between pump and burner, not only that but the installed it back to front. The outlet should be at the top, it was at the bottom. They attached the pump so high with the outlet touching the top of the casing that the bend of the hose to come down completely closed up the hose. The tank should be higher than the pump to gravity feed fuel to the pump, but the pump was quite a bit higher than the tank's outlet. I wrote to HCalory and the eBay supplier wanting my money back. However, the problem is, I can order another portable one, even from another brand (same factory?) and it will be exactly the same. Several people also have promoted these heaters, but I doubt taht any of them ever opened one to find all these problems.

@nomadbrad503

Most propane heaters do not exhaust outside the vehicle…like wave and buddy heaters. This creates moisture inside your vehicle..I know because I had one. Also you can fill a diesel tank at most gas stations by yourself..propane tanks are not as easy
